In the electrolysis of alumina to obtain aluminum metal, cryolite is added mainly to:
- A Lower the melting point of alumina
- B Dissolve the alumina in the molten cryolite
- C Remove the impurities of alumina
- D Increase the electrical conductivity
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Lower the melting point of alumina
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Cryolite \(\left( Na _3 AlF _6\right)\) is added to alumina \(\left( Al _2 O _3\right)\) during its electrolysis to lower the melting point of alumina, making the process more energy-efficient. It also helps in increasing the electrical conductivity of the molten mixture.

Carbohydrates such as cane sugar, glucose, starch etc. belong to a class of naturally occurring organic compounds. Structurally these are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or the compounds which produce such units on hydrolysis. Carbohydrates which are sweet in taste are called sugars. Theses sugars can be reducing or non-reducing. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler units whereas Oligosaccharides yield two to ten monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. Polysaccharides yield large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. This class of biomolecules is essential for living systems as they serve as storage molecules in plants and animals. In addition, they provide raw materials for important industries like furniture, textiles, paper, lacquers and breweries. Two aldopentose form important constituents of nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are also called saccharides (Greek: sakcharon which means sugar). Sugar which is used in household and in milk also comes under this class of biomolecules.
